I had already sewn some squares onto my pieces to make more flying geese and went right into cutting them. I had quite the stack growing and I was applauding myself for my work and had visions of glorious rows of green flying geese. Unfortunately, once I went to start ironing them I realized I had sewn the entire stack incorrectly! This means I need to spend a lot of time with the seam ripper and that large glorious stack now. Had I not been sewing with friends who lightened the mood, I may have shed some tears. I am really bummed.
I then proceeded to wander aimlessly throughout my home to find a new project to work on to no avail. Not due to the lack of projects in the works, but because I couldn't find all of the pieces to any of them! At the evening all I have to show is this, a teeny little stack of squares for hexagons from fabric I purchased in Hawaii.

Unfortunately, it happens to all of us, or at least most. It has certainly happened to me. I'll bet when all is said and done though, soon you'll be admiring your beautiful new Christmas quilt and telling your (semi) funny story.
I think we have all been there! Just this week I was making wonderful progress on a hand embroidered pillowcase only to find out that I had the pillowcase wrong side out! Sigh
Happy Sewing anyway!
Congrats for winning the FNSI!

that's such a bummer about the Christmas quilt! I absolutely hate using my seam ripper.
What fabric are you using for the quilt?
